  "writing": "\tMikey led Leo through the equivalent of seven city blocks worth of sewer tunnels before reaching what appeared to be a large drainage pipe set two feet above the surface of the sewer floor.\n\n\tStopping in front of it, Mikey grinned at Leo and said, ``You don't actually have to crawl to get through here, but you will have to bend pretty far over.  Keep your shell up and your shoulders down so you don't lose skin on the concrete.''\n\n\tWith that said, Mikey fished a small pencil flashlight from his belt, turning it on before wrapping his mouth around the unlit end.  Leo had to pull his mind off of how perfectly Mikey's lips curved around the casing in order to pay attention to what the young turtle was doing.\n\n\tMikey grabbed the bottom edge of the concrete pipe and boosted himself up and into the opening, disappearing quickly.  Leo followed his example, finding that if he bent nearly double and turned a bit to the side, he could walk through the pipe.\n\n\tThe tiny pinpoint of light that Mikey was using to illuminate their way was just enough to show Leo that the old pipe had been patched with layers of fresh concrete fairly recently, no doubt Mikey's handiwork.\n\n\tThe pipe gradually sloped upwards and Leo remained close to Mikey.  After traveling a little ways inside, Leo found his focus had shifted to Mikey's tail, watching in fascination as the small appendage wiggled periodically, proving that it was as excitable as its owner.  When Leo began to feel like Mikey's tail was hypnotizing him, he pulled his gaze away only to have his eyes travel over to Mikey's solid yet shapely rear end.\n\n\tBefore Leo's traitorous imagination had the chance to cause him difficulties, Mikey climbed through a wide opening overhead.  When Leo reached it, he did likewise, coming up through a layer of earth, concrete, and then broken blue tiles.\n\n\tLeo found himself standing in a rather old fashioned restroom; the urinals that lined the walls telling him it was a men's room.  The place that he had come up through had been where the floor drain was located, widened to turtle size, probably by Michelangelo.\n\n\tHe looked back up to see Mikey walking through a doorless archway and Leo quickly went after him.  The men's room opened into a spacious area with tiled floors, wide wooden support beams, curved brick archways, and brick and mortar walls covered in faded murals.  Sturdily built wooden benches occupied a section of the space and to one side was a short fence beyond which stood an enclosed wooden booth, as long and wide as a railway car.\n\n\tOn the opposite side of the space, just past the benches, an expanse of steps went down to a subway platform.\n\n\tMikey was standing in the center of the space, his hands on his hips as he watched Leo look around.  When Leo finally turned back to the young turtle, Mikey said, ``It's an old subway station.  They built the new one practically on top of it and instead of trying to fill this in with something, they just reinforced the flooring system.  I guess they did a good job, I can't hear anything from above and it hasn't fallen on my head yet.''\n\n\tLeo noticed that there were fresh murals on the walls, all of them depicting various scenes from throughout the city.  ``Did you paint these?'' he asked.\n\n\tMikey looked slightly embarrassed.  ``Yeah.  The place needed some color.''\n\n\tThe paintings were indeed vibrant and filled with both life and movement.  Leo was no art expert, but he knew fine work when he saw it.  Each scene seemed to come alive as Leo examined it; he could almost see the cold breath puff from a horse's mouth and hear the jangle of the bells that were slung along the sides of the carriage it pulled.\n\n\t``These are incredible,'' Leo murmured, rather awestruck at the young turtle's talent.  ``I would say you've done your namesake proud.''\n\n\t``Thank you,'' Mikey said quietly.  ``Except for my chalk drawings, no one's ever seen my work before.''\n\n\t``Have you lived here all your life?'' Leo asked.  The space had touches of Mikey's personality, but not as much as Leo would have expected given Mikey's apparent age.\n\n\t``Nope,'' Mikey said with a grin.  ``This is my new home.  I found out about it in an old book that was in the school library and thought I'd see if it was still here.''\n\n\tPlayground. Teacher's name.  Art room.  Pieces of the puzzle were falling into place.  ``School?'' Leo asked.\n\n\t``Hang on a sec while I get my first aid stuff,'' Mikey said, bouncing away on his toes.  ``Go ahead and sit anywhere, I'll be right back.''\n\n\tAs Mikey disappeared into what Leo now recognized as ticket booths, the older turtle walked over to a bench and sat down.  A lot of the space was dusty, dirty, and covered in cobwebs, but there were also areas that had obviously been carefully cleaned.  The tile floors with their gigantic star patterns had been not only swept but mopped as well and shone from the effort.  The wooden benches had been repaired and gleamed under a fresh coat of lacquer.\n\n\tLeo also noticed that there were lights in the cavernous space and realized that Mikey had hung various sizes and shapes of workmen's lights around the interior.  Glancing towards the ticket booths, Leo saw that it was even brighter in there, and the familiar flickering from one section could only mean that Mikey had a television.\n\n\tWhen Mikey came out, he was carrying a big plastic box and a bottle of soda.  Setting the box on the bench next to Leo, he offered the older turtle the bottle.\n\n\t``I hope you like pop,'' Mikey said a little shyly.  ``I've got some bottled water if you'd rather have that.''\n\n\tLeo normally avoided sugary drinks, but Mikey was so obviously proud of his manners that the blue banded turtle accepted the soda politely.  ``Thank you, this is fine,'' he said.\n\n\t``'Kay,'' Mikey said, his bright mood returning.  ``Let's get that wound fixed up.''\n\n\tHe crossed behind Leo and while Mikey snapped the top of his first aid kit open, Leo removed his katanas so they wouldn't be in the younger turtle's way.\n\n\t``From the scars you've got, I'm gonna guess this won't be the first set of stitches you've ever had,'' Mikey said.  ``I hope you're not used to painkillers, `cause I don't have any.''\n\n\t``No, I don't take them unless my brother's insist,'' Leo said, feeling the sting of the antiseptic that Mikey was using.  ``Where did you learn first aid?''\n\n\t``From books and tv,'' Mikey said simply.  ``I didn't have anybody to patch me up when I got hurt or sick, so I knew I had to figure it out really quick.  I've gotten pretty good with stitches; if you're patient I can make them small and tight so this'll barely scar.''\n\n\t``I'm patient; take your time,'' Leo said, in no hurry to leave the younger turtle's proximity.  ``Where did you get the electricity from?''\n\n\tMikey glanced up at the lights, then returned to threading a needle.  ``I have a generator.  And before you ask, that came from the same place most of my stuff came from, including the mini-fridge where I keep the soda.  My school.''\n\n\tIt was the second time Michelangelo had mentioned a school and as Leo felt the first prick of the needle going into his skin, he asked, ``Mikey, tell me about how you grew up and where.''\n\n\t``You want my life story?'' Mikey asked facetiously.\n\n\t``I would like to hear it, yes,'' Leo answered.  ``It might help to clear up some of the mystery about our origins.''\n\n\t``Okay,'' Mikey said lightly.  ``I'll sew and talk and you be still and listen.  Let me know if you get bored.''\n\n\tThe lilting sound of Mikey's voice so near his head was something Leo knew he would never grow tired of hearing.  He wasn't quite ready to admit that to the younger turtle, so he took a sip of the soda his host had so thoughtfully supplied and said, ``I guarantee it won't bore me.''\n\n\t``Well, just remember you asked for it,'' Mikey said with a laugh.\n\n\tAs Mikey began speaking, Leo half closed his eyes in concentration, determined to memorize every word the lost boy uttered.

Teacher&#039;s name.&nbsp;&nbsp;Art room.&nbsp;&nbsp;Pieces of the puzzle were falling into place.&nbsp;&nbsp;``School?&#039;&#039; Leo asked.<br /><br />\t``Hang on a sec while I get my first aid stuff,&#039;&#039; Mikey said, bouncing away on his toes.&nbsp;&nbsp;``Go ahead and sit anywhere, I&#039;ll be right back.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tAs Mikey disappeared into what Leo now recognized as ticket booths, the older turtle walked over to a bench and sat down.&nbsp;&nbsp;A lot of the space was dusty, dirty, and covered in cobwebs, but there were also areas that had obviously been carefully cleaned.&nbsp;&nbsp;The tile floors with their gigantic star patterns had been not only swept but mopped as well and shone from the effort.&nbsp;&nbsp;The wooden benches had been repaired and gleamed under a fresh coat of lacquer.<br /><br />\tLeo also noticed that there were lights in the cavernous space and realized that Mikey had hung various sizes and shapes of workmen&#039;s lights around the interior.&nbsp;&nbsp;Glancing towards the ticket booths, Leo saw that it was even brighter in there, and the familiar flickering from one section could only mean that Mikey had a television.<br /><br />\tWhen Mikey came out, he was carrying a big plastic box and a bottle of soda.&nbsp;&nbsp;Setting the box on the bench next to Leo, he offered the older turtle the bottle.<br /><br />\t``I hope you like pop,&#039;&#039; Mikey said a little shyly.&nbsp;&nbsp;``I&#039;ve got some bottled water if you&#039;d rather have that.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tLeo normally avoided sugary drinks, but Mikey was so obviously proud of his manners that the blue banded turtle accepted the soda politely.&nbsp;&nbsp;``Thank you, this is fine,&#039;&#039; he said.<br /><br />\t``&#039;Kay,&#039;&#039; Mikey said, his bright mood returning.&nbsp;&nbsp;``Let&#039;s get that wound fixed up.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tHe crossed behind Leo and while Mikey snapped the top of his first aid kit open, Leo removed his katanas so they wouldn&#039;t be in the younger turtle&#039;s way.<br /><br />\t``From the scars you&#039;ve got, I&#039;m gonna guess this won&#039;t be the first set of stitches you&#039;ve ever had,&#039;&#039; Mikey said.&nbsp;&nbsp;``I hope you&#039;re not used to painkillers, `cause I don&#039;t have any.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``No, I don&#039;t take them unless my brother&#039;s insist,&#039;&#039; Leo said, feeling the sting of the antiseptic that Mikey was using.&nbsp;&nbsp;``Where did you learn first aid?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``From books and tv,&#039;&#039; Mikey said simply.&nbsp;&nbsp;``I didn&#039;t have anybody to patch me up when I got hurt or sick, so I knew I had to figure it out really quick.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&#039;ve gotten pretty good with stitches; if you&#039;re patient I can make them small and tight so this&#039;ll barely scar.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``I&#039;m patient; take your time,&#039;&#039; Leo said, in no hurry to leave the younger turtle&#039;s proximity.&nbsp;&nbsp;``Where did you get the electricity from?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tMikey glanced up at the lights, then returned to threading a needle.&nbsp;&nbsp;``I have a generator.&nbsp;&nbsp;And before you ask, that came from the same place most of my stuff came from, including the mini-fridge where I keep the soda.&nbsp;&nbsp;My school.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tIt was the second time Michelangelo had mentioned a school and as Leo felt the first prick of the needle going into his skin, he asked, ``Mikey, tell me about how you grew up and where.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``You want my life story?&#039;&#039; Mikey asked facetiously.<br /><br />\t``I would like to hear it, yes,&#039;&#039; Leo answered.&nbsp;&nbsp;``It might help to clear up some of the mystery about our origins.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``Okay,&#039;&#039; Mikey said lightly.&nbsp;&nbsp;``I&#039;ll sew and talk and you be still and listen.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let me know if you get bored.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tThe lilting sound of Mikey&#039;s voice so near his head was something Leo knew he would never grow tired of hearing.&nbsp;&nbsp;He wasn&#039;t quite ready to admit that to the younger turtle, so he took a sip of the soda his host had so thoughtfully supplied and said, ``I guarantee it won&#039;t bore me.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``Well, just remember you asked for it,&#039;&#039; Mikey said with a laugh.<br /><br />\tAs Mikey began speaking, Leo half closed his eyes in concentration, determined to memorize every word the lost boy uttered.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was important to him that whatever Michelangelo had experienced, Leo come as close as possible to experiencing it as well.<br /><br />TBC..................<br /><br /></span>",
